Hello Patrons! At the beginning of this month, I made a post announcing that there will be changes to this Patreon starting in October. For those who missed that post, the main changes will be:

  • The basic tier ($5) will have access to 5 essential tutorials, plus the latest one.
  • There will be a new higher tier. Only this higher tier will get access to the full backlog of tutorials (28 in total when the change is implemented).

In the last weeks, I’ve made a lot of progress on the new setup! Here are the latest updates:

  • There will be a discord community for all patrons! It will be a place where we can hang out, chat, and share our work with each other. The server is nearing completion, and right now I’m working on putting together a team of moderators so that things run smoothly! This has been one of the most exciting things I’ve worked on in a while and I can’t wait to share it with you all!
  • The basic tier will give you access to the following tutorials: Constructing a Pose, Choosing Colors, Environments, My Workflow in Procreate, and Warmups & Exercises for Improving your Skills. You’ll also get access to the latest tutorial. Just like now, you’ll get a download link at the end of each month you were signed up.
  • The higher tier will be $10 a month. Perks for this tier are: monthly drawing challenges, a monthly Q&A session, access to an exclusive area of the discord, and of course the full backlog of tutorials.

A few of you mentioned in the comments of the last post that you don’t have a local copy of the tutorials you sponsored, and are concerned about losing access to them after this change.

Because of this, I will be making it possible to download these files one last time. If you were signed up during a month that I created a tutorial, you will get a DM from me containing a link to download the video. You might receive multiple DMs from me depending on how many months you were signed up. You will have until September 30, 2022 to download the video! I will be sending the DMs out this week, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Please keep in mind:

  • I will only be sending links to the tutorials that will be moved to the backlog. The 5 essential tutorials listed above will still be accessible through the feed.
  • The files for June and July are still up, so if you were signed up then, you can just click the link that I sent you at the end of that month.
  • If you already downloaded the videos during the month you were signed up, you can ignore the DM I sent you!

I hope this solution works for those of you who want to retain access to the tutorials you sponsored! If there are any issues, please do reach out to me directly. I’ll be posting more updates about the new tier in the coming weeks!

Thank you for being so transparent about the changes, Lois! And for all the love and hard work you've put into making this patreon the best one out there. Quick question: Will the new, higher tier also include any future tutorials you create or is that being replaced with the monthly Q+A?

Milla Sky

Thank you and looking forward to the new tier! Will gladly join!

Entirely understandable. You offer a world of education, experience, personal thoughts and clarity with curriculum level quality and organization for the price of a cup of coffee. In the parlance of our times, get that bag sis! ;) I was hoping for a grandfathering in sort of situation for the first few, but i also JUST realized i got like 14 emails from Patreon offering me downloads for the ones i didnt already download! So thank you, I will get right on that!

Thank you so much for your understanding! Just downloaded all the tutorials and am beyond excited for what you produce in the future!

Loish

sorry for the spam jeremy! haha just wanted to make sure everyone got what they paid for before the change is implemented :)

Loish

hey rali! the higher tier will also include tutorials! they basically get everything from the basic tier plus the extra perks.

This is the perfect example when spamming is great haha! Patreon/gmail just collapsed them all into one email so i didnt realize at first.

Thank you so much for the update. Will definitely switch to the new tier when it’s ready!

I’m really sad to hear this, I signed up so I could watch your tutorials and had such a hard time with Vimeo cutting off I decided to wait until the kids were back in school, hoping Vimeo would either work then or I could have more time. Now I’ll need to turn membership on and off every in order to keep my budget. I understand you need to make a living, am not mad, am just sad.

Thanks Lois! I wasn't so good about downloading them at the end of the month before. Super excited to have them to review over and over. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. Thanks again.

I am new, I subscribed at the beginning of August, will I also have the opportunity to download the video tutorials or is it only for old patreons?

Loish

hey ana! unfortunately it's only for the patrons who were signed up on the month that I made the video tutorial.

Loish

hey jean! so sorry to hear that. if it is of any help, the tutorials that cut off are hosted by patreon and there is a list of external vimeo links that works for everyone. you can find it here - https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-subtitled-64518198 the changes aren't going to go in until october so there is still time to watch the videos!

Brittani Harris

Thank you for giving us a chance to download the previous tutorials! I’m doing that now.

Amazing! So stoked for the higher tier, I'm fully on board with it. It'll be well worthwhile, in my opinion :) your content has been awesome and I'm happy to pay a little more. Excited about the discord server and monthly challenges!!!

Awesome! :)

Hi Loish Is it possible to continue watching the rest of the videos? process ones? Thank you

Anonymous

if you become a $10 patreon, can you download the videos (like when you ssend drive links) or only watching through patreon?

Loish

for both tiers you'll recieve links at the end of the month for all of the content!

Anonymous

And for the backlog? will it be possible download it too? for the past month, like for example in gumroad or included in the tier... If you decide to sell it in gumroad, would it be the same price as patreon per month?

Hi Loish. Been a supporter for quite some time now. Definitely endorse the new tier but have a silly question...how do current members upgrade? Do we cancel our current level and pay for the new one? I have never done this in Patreon before so apologies if this is easier than it sounds, ha!

Anonymous

Hi Loish. The videos that will not be available are the 28 tutorials or any other video? Thank you very much

Anonymous

Hi Loish! I cannot seem to upgrade my tier. It will only allow me to stay at the $5.

Loish

hey! that's because the new tier doesn't exist yet :) it'll go live on october 2nd! i'll be sure to post about it then!

Loish

hey mark! no worries at all, it's all new to me too :) you should be able to upgrade when the new tier goes live. if you're already a member, you can just upgrade and pay the difference. more info here - https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000126286-Editing-your-membership

Sorry to ask this question that probably everyone already asked but I don’t understand if I am on the 5$ tiers do this mean I have access every month to one Tutorial and the next month this tutorial is not accessible anymore but I will get the next month tutorial ?
